Hi, So I have a lovely indoor cat, she's 2 and a half... had her since a kitten and love her so much. The problem is she is used to being around me pretty much most of the time, and she is extremely needy and nervous and gets stressed when left for a longer period of time. I know this because of the mess she will make (tip her food and water over/find clumps of hair everywhere etc).
My partner works long hours and shifts and I will also soon be starting a full time job and again shifts, which means she will be alone most of the time (something she is not used to) she is the only cat we have and due to her breed amongst other things we can't really let her out.
I'm just curious as to what people think the best thing todo here is? It's making me very anxious because I don't want to leave her so much on her own, especially when she's not used to it, close friends have advised me to think about rehoming her as it's unfair on her.
Anyone got any advice? would much appreciate it :)
